Trying to find Walker

On researching my family history I have found out that my great uncle FREDERICK WALKER was killed on 12.06.1944 and is buried in Ranville cemetary. The fascinating bit is the history that goes with it. He was in a jeep which was towing a trailer loaded with mines, and for whatever reason the whole thing blew up killing and injurying 18 of the regiment in the process. The incident occurred in a copse called LE BOIS DE MONTS, ROUTE DE L'ARBRE MARDIN, BREVILLE, NORMANDY. The reason for posting this message is my father visits the area every year to place a wreath in memory of his uncle and would like to know any other soldiers that were also killed or injured in the incident. The farm was vacant for many years and is now owned by a French lady and her English husband, who are also very interested in finding out more. So if you had a relation involved or who was in the Oxford and Bucks 52nd Airbourne unit at the time, please contact me.52ND AIRBOURNE OXFORD AND BUCKS |
